British Moth Open 20th July. Breezy flying Moths

Details: Last Updated: 19 September 2019

Success for MSC sailors at the club’s recent Moth Open! Four MSC sailors and four visitors took to the water for three back-to-back races in extreme Moth conditions – lots of wind and half rudder! Moth virgin Sasha looked as if he had been sailing the class for years, making for a tight competition
between himself and visitors Toby and Tim. Despite the conditions, and a failure of the outhaul, he prevailed in the last race. Sasha was overall champion, with Toby second, Tim third. Jenni, also from MSC, was Ladies champion.

Sacha is the first MSC helm to win this trophy being previously only been won by ex National Champions

Maidenhead Open on Saturday 20th July. MSC have a number of RYA qualified race coaches and we have available the use of at least one of them. This is available FoC to those who have entered for the open. Club members with a similar PY to that of the Moth may also take part in this coaching. At present there is one spare boat available for anyone to enter the open. There will be no need to be a member of t he BMBA to enter the racing on this day.

New club Solo demo dates

Details: Last Updated: 16 April 2019

New modern Club Solo available for sailing.

MSC has purchased Solo 4444 to improve it's fleet of available boats to hire.

The Solo is a single handed dinghy suitable for casual sailing as well as racing and is available with all of our other boats on Thursday Evenings, Saturday or Sunday. The boat is more comfortable and roomy than say,a Laser, with less chance of getting wet, so a good boat to try for the less experienced or new sailor.

If you would like some help with the Solo to rig and sail, Mark Savill, Solo Fleet Captain, will be available on Saturday 20th April and Saturday 18th May to assist. If you have a particular time in mind please email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
